In a bid to reclaim justice and uphold the integrity of the law, former Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has taken a bold step by filing an appeal against his sentence in the cipher case at the esteemed Islamabad High Court.
With unwavering determination, Qureshi’s appeal, meticulously crafted by his legal representatives, Barrister Taimur Malik and Ali Bukhari, seeks to overturn the decision handed down by the Official Secrets Act special court on January 30. The essence of the appeal resonates with a fervent plea for his exoneration and the annulment of the verdict, echoing his steadfast belief in his innocence.
In a strategic legal maneuver, Qureshi has not only lodged an appeal but has also petitioned for the suspension of the decision and submitted a bail application, fervently requesting his release pending the final adjudication on the appeal. The urgency of suspending the judgment underscores the gravity of the situation, highlighting Qureshi’s unwavering commitment to seeking justice through the due legal process.
Simultaneously, in pursuit of justice, former Prime Minister Imran Khan has taken decisive action by filing appeals against his convictions in both the cipher and Toshakhana cases of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) at the Islamabad High Court.
Imbued with resilience and resolve, Khan’s legal team has embarked on a quest to challenge the verdicts delivered by the Official Secrets Act special court on January 30 and the Islamabad Accountability Court on January 31, respectively. In his appeals, Khan fervently seeks to nullify the sentences imposed in both cases, underlining his unwavering belief in the sanctity of justice.
Moreover, Khan implores the court to exercise its discretion by suspending his sentence and granting bail until the conclusive determination of his appeals, underscoring his unwavering commitment to the principles of fairness and equity.
As the wheels of justice turn, these appeals signify a resolute stance against injustice and a fervent pursuit of truth and exoneration in the hallowed halls of the judicial system.
